The first thousand three hundred and thirty-nine chapters of friendship and love on the pilgrimage road
.
The big cities on the pilgrimage are always the end of some people and the beginning of others, full of new people and old people.
Here you will meet more pilgrims who are about to set out to start their pilgrimage journey and will also say goodbye to familiar faces who have met since the first day.
In fact, Li Shenxing felt that he was not very good at socializing. When he walked alone, he just greeted them on the road and chatted with them, or happened to have dinner with his deskmate at night. But when he thought that he would never see them again the next day, and he would not have any chance to see them again in his life, he was still full of reluctance.
At this time, Li Shenxing suddenly felt a little grateful that he had a friend by his side.
I remembered a sentence I saw when I checked the information: "On the road of pilgrimage, those who you should meet and who you should meet will definitely be arranged to deliver him (her) to you in any case."
Li Shenxing agrees very much about this, and he will meet him if he is destined to do so.
Speaking of which, Li Shenxing met a French uncle on the pilgrimage. He was the most amazing friend he thought during the 30-day pilgrimage. From the first day of meeting at Orission and to the last day of reunion at Santiago de Compostela, two-thirds of the days would meet him on the road.
The uncle's legs looked a little inconvenient, but his pace was not slow at all. Every time Li Shenxing saw him from a distance from behind, and then spent half an hour to catch up with him, say hello to him and then surpass him.
Sometimes they would meet again at the accommodation point where they were staying, but they just smiled and did not have a deep conversation. Sometimes, even though they saw him falling down, Li Shenxing walked another five or six kilometers to settle in the next town, but the next day he still appeared in front of Li Shenxing. Li Shenxing, who was not convinced, would definitely catch up with him again, and this cycle was like this.
So much so that Li Shenxing's hike in the second half of the year was expected to meet an uncle again every day.
This time it was the uncle's fourth hike pilgrimage, but he hardly could speak English, so they basically didn't communicate much during these 30 days, and most of them just nodded and smiled.
When they met by chance on the last day at the entrance of the Church of Santiago de Compostela, the two hugged each other with great excitement, and that was the last time they met.
Li Shenxing thought that the uncle would definitely embark on this pilgrimage again and again in his lifetime, and he would definitely do it.
Buen Camine!

Today's destination is a small town called Hontanas. Li Shenxing was very impressed by this town because that day was the only night without a mobile phone signal in 30 days.
After checking in, wash first as usual, then clean the changed clothes, and finally dry them in the yard before the sun sets.
After doing all this, Li Shenxing had free time to stroll around the town in vests, shorts and slippers.
When I was walking in the village, I saw a sign "The Best Paella During Camine" hanging at the door of a hotel. My saliva was about to flow out in an instant. Li Shenxing immediately walked in without hesitation and booked dinner.
When we arrived again when we ordered the meal, there was already a super large iron plate of Paella seafood paella on the table near the door. Then the boss took out the plate and shared the meal for everyone.
While having dinner and chatting, Li Shenxing learned that there was actually a romantic love story between the boss and the boss.
The boss is Spanish, and the boss lady is a Bulgarian girl. A few years ago, the boss volunteered in an Albergue on Camino. The boss lady, who was still a pilgrim, fell in love at first sight when he checked in the hotel one day, but the boss lady had to continue the hiking the next day, so the two agreed to wait for the boss lady to walk to Santiago before meeting each other.
Half a month later, the boss's wife suddenly appeared in front of the boss, several days ahead of the time calculated by the boss. It turned out that the boss's wife had been rushing to go since she parted, hoping to meet Xin Xinnian's boss earlier.
Not long after that, the two got married, but after getting married, they did not leave, but instead started Albergue together on the pilgrimage. However, they would change villages every year. Whether they could eat such delicious seafood paellas depends on fate when they heard such a touching love story!
The magical road of the Pilgrimage Road has inspired many former pilgrims to return and continue to serve pilgrims from all over the world, provide meals and accommodations, and provide spiritual encouragement.
But in fact, opening an Albergue on the road of pilgrimage is not as beautiful as I imagined living in an ancient village and watching people come and go, drinking and chatting every day. Not only do you have to do everything yourself, but you also need to work hard. But what is even more difficult is to stay away from the city and stay in remote villages.
As the pilgrimage road becomes more and more famous, not only pilgrims or hikers, but tourists also flock to it. They regard this road as a cheap way to take a vacation, and only a little money can make wine and meat and sing and sing every night. They stop to have fun after walking for several kilometers every day. They also complain that the accommodation along the way is too difficult, the facilities are too backward, and the entertainment cannot keep up.
Li Shenxing thought that Albergue bosses would feel very frustrated when they encounter such customers, but once they choose this path, they will definitely persevere.
So there is never any concern on the road to Camino about what you can get, but what you can give!
The sun is still shining brightly during the day, and you can drink in the blue sky and white clouds in a single dress. You never thought that the coldest day of the 30-day pilgrimage would come without warning.
Spain is such a magical country. It is as passionate as fire during the day, and quiet at night, like the flamenco dancer who is indifferent and serious when static, but is crazy and bold when dancing.
The phone had no signal overnight, and it was very clean. After Li Shenxing finished writing his travel notes, he went to bed early.
The next day, after packing their luggage, Li Shenxing and Xiaohu set off before the sun rose. Because the shelter did not provide breakfast, they needed to go to the next village to finish their meal.
The village of Hontanas is really small. In the early morning, I walked out of the hostel in three or two steps to the entrance of the village, and then walked uphill out of the valley. Looking back, the village was shrouded in white mist, with some lights, which looked very illusory, as if it would disappear from my eyes in the next second.
Li Shenxing rarely looks back to see the scenery behind him, so for the first time he discovered that the scenery behind him would be so beautiful from different angles.
